Christina,

I agree on the many points you made in your reflection. Teachers need to understand the value of collaboration because when they do then their students will too.

You mentioned that teachers need to share their research and results with other teachers, so this means that teachers should be constantly researching (formally or informally) to find ways to help students succeed in class.

I agree that diversity is not just about different nationalities but about different learning styles. So teachers should update themselves about the different learning styles and even create their own. We even need to stay connected with our students and their culture to understand how they learn.
